Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea as assessed by polysomnography in psychiatric patients with sleep-related problems.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePatients with psychiatric disorders often complain of sleep disturbances and are frequently suspected of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, data regarding sleep problems evaluated by attended polysomnography (PSG) remain limited in this population. We analyzed the results of attended PSG from psychiatric patients with sleep-related problems to determine the prevalence and features of sleep disorders among this population.
methodsWe retrospectively investigated the attended PSG results of patients with psychiatric disorders: major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, neurodevelopmental disorder, schizophrenia, neurocognitive disorder, anxiety disorder, somatic symptom disorder.
resultsOf 264 patients, 158 men (60%), mean age was 47 ± 19.9 years. More than half of the patients with major depressive disorder (62%), bipolar disorder (70%), schizophrenia (58%), neurocognitive disorders (55%), and somatic symptom disorder (56%) had OSA. Among the psychiatric patients with OSA, 62% of these patients had moderate to severe OSA. The risk factors for OSA were snoring, male, age, and body mass index. The presence of OSA was not associated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, or benzodiazepine, antipsychotic, or antidepressant use. Other sleep disorders were insomnia (19%), central disorders of hypersomnia (8%), restless legs syndrome/periodic limb movement of sleep (8%), rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (7%), and central sleep apnea syndrome (3%).
conclusionsPSG revealed that moderate to severe OSA was common in psychiatric patients with or without snoring. Subjective symptoms and psychotropics did not predict OSA. Therefore, PSG is needed to reveal sleep conditions in patients with psychiatric disorders.
